My son has been painting on and off since he was about 8(he's now 10) he started with a few Reaper Bones dragons and other beasties but as he has gotten older he is now interested in Fallout and Blood Bowl(amongst many other things!).
With his pocket money and birthday/Xmas he has acquired quite a few of Modiphius' Fallout range, so I thought I'd show of his painting, first up his Fallout collection:
As he was showing considerable interest in Blood Bowl and being very keen for him to get into it myself I gave him my spare Lizardman team which was well down my queue for painting and over the course of a couple of weeks he has painted and based his first team:
As for actual gaming, he has played a few half's of table top Bloodbowl and plenty on the Xbox, I have also had him playing Dragon Rampant and Bolt Action both of which he picked up quickly and enjoyed and he has now picked up a 2nd hand Age of Sigmar Lizardman force and has been browsing 3rd party Kroxigors for his Bloodbowl team to replace the current one he's not keen on!
The start of his AoS army:
Hopefully it's not just a fad but so be it if it is!(though it would be awesome if he caught the Bloodbowl bug at least!)
Better than 10y/o me could paint. Nice one.
ReplyDeleteThanks James, at that age I was content to play with unpainted plastic airfix soldiers, proper gaming was still a year away for me!
